Re: Getting Timewave PK96 to talk to AO-51

Thanks to all who replied. I made the changes below but still had problems. Even though I was feeding both 1200 and 9600 baud audio over the cable, it wasnt getting through. I had to put in the extra cable that came with the PK96 to take the external audio direct from the IC910H to the PK96. I can now see the incoming packets. Good thing I ordered a premade cable which should be here in a day or so.
Thanks also to those who suggested going to www.packetradio.com. I also found a cable that will plug into the ACC connector on the IC910H so I wont have to worry about running a split cable. Will order that one on monday. Looking forward to operating digital soon.

I am in the process of connection my PK96 to my IC910H. I can talk from the
PC to the PK96 so that appears to be ok. I can get the radio to go into
transmit by typing c ka4kyi. I can see the CD light come up on the PK96
when a signal is received but nothing makes it to the PC. Makes me thing I
may have a problem in the PK96. I have put my callsign into the unit and
found out how to put the unit into PASSALL on mode by going into expert
mode. No other commands have been issued at this point.
I am doing my initial testing with local APRS transmissions. I thought I
should be seeing something.
Suggestions ?
